      Actually, no-one as far as I'm aware, has dealt with the data presented within the piece. The "criticism" has mostly just been smug condescension based on credentials.https://twitter.com/JeffreyASachs/status/1020996584497131520 …

      I mean look: that Hughes piece was *bad*. You know this by now, Quillette fans. It’s filled with factual errors and fuzzy thinking, and if you’re as serious about the truth as you claim, you should be grateful to academics for proving that.

      Replying to @clairlemon

      Hi Claire. This post effectively rebuts one of Coleman's key pieces of evidence. The thread that Cathy links to is also quite good.http://decompressinghistory.com/post/african-american-incomes/ …

      Replying to @JeffreyASachs @clairlemon

      Wow is this a misrep of Hughes - eg the quote he pulls out is *very* clearly *comparison* of % growth for blacks vs whites. Bc it is %-age growth it doesn't matter whether is nominal or real. (Also growth is default measured as % - not generally abs $, so this debunk is v bad)

      Replying to @Clarksterh @clairlemon

      I think you're misunderstanding the point of that argument. If black sharecroppers move from Georgia to Chicago, their wage will increase because workers in Chicago are paid more. Hurray! Except that it's a nominal increase that doesn't account for the higher cost of living.

      Replying to @JeffreyASachs @Clarksterh @clairlemon

      Ah, but if income and cost of living rise by the same percentage, savings should rise by that percentage, too, ie it still reduces wealth inequality. You do bring up the useful point that people exaggerate eary 20th c. racial disparities if they ignore purchasing power.
